Manchester United have reportedly set a deadline by which a decision on Mason Greenwood’s future will be made.
With Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s partial takeover at Old Trafford being ratified by the Premier League, long-term plans are now being drawn up by the Red Devils.
However, Greenwood is unlikely to play any part in those, but no definitive call on what happens next with the 22-year-old forward has been made.
Also, Ratcliffe has said of the one-cap England international, who continues to impress during a loan spell at Spanish side Getafe: “We will make a decision.
“I don’t know if he could still have a future.
“All I can do is talk about the principle of how we will approach decisions like that.
“Is he the right type of footballer?
“Are we happy with that?
“Is he a good person or not?
“He is a Manchester United footballer, and we are in charge of football.
“So, the answer is it’s quite clear we have to make a decision”.
Priority
According to The Sun, that decision will be made by the end of May.
However, Ratcliffe is said to have made the Greenwood saga a “priority” for United.
It is felt that a resolution is required that allows all parties to move on, without a protracted saga providing an unwelcome distraction.

Meanwhile, Greenwood has not figured for United since January 2022, when he was arrested on suspicion of rape and sexual assault.
Although those charges were dropped in February 2023.
The talented winger has attracted interest from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid during a stint at Getafe that has delivered seven goals and five assists so far this term.
